Nopal Powder - 50g

Legendary cactus with fascinating flowers and the subtle scent of its fruits, Nopal is a plant that has certainly not yet revealed all its secrets. This powder is obtained via a process that does not use any solvent or chemical product. Introduced to Europe in the 18th century, this superfood quickly adapted throughout the south as well as in the Maghreb. Maintaining these resistant plants in an arid environment makes it possible to shelter and develop an entire ecosystem, thus ensuring the preservation of biodiversity.
